A brilliant, life-affirming, and hilarious memoir from a âgeniusâ (The New York Times) and master storyteller. With illustrations by Jason Polan.The seven years between the birth of Etgar Keretâs son and the death of his father were good years, though still full of reasons to worry. Lev is born in the midst of a terrorist attack. Etgarâs father gets cancer. The threat of constant war looms over their home and permeates daily life.What emerges from this dark reality is a series of sublimely absurd ruminations on everything from Etgarâs three-year-old sonâs impending military service to the terrorist mind-set behind Angry Birds. Thereâs Levâs insistence that he is a cat, releasing him from any human responsibilities or rules. Etgarâs siblings, all very different people who have chosen radically divergent paths in life, come together after his fatherâs shivah to experience the grief and love that tie a family together forever. This wise, witty memoirâEtgarâs first nonfiction book published in America, and told in his inimitable styleâis full of wonder and life and love, poignant insights, and irrepressible humor.
